9 Jan 2017 (AFR) – More economic uncertainty hangs over China

‘Official and unofficial data confirms that the Chinese economy stabilised during the middle of 2016. But there is still a lot of disagreement about the country’s growth outlook moving forward. Three important forces are likely to determine economic trends in 2017: property development, infrastructure spending and manufacturing investment. These forces are also the source of much uncertainty about the future of China’s economic policy.’
